AN AC IMPEDANCE STUDY OF THE FRACTAL GEOMETRY OF SILVER FILMS ELECTRODEPOSITED WITHIN A POLYMER MATRIX

Silver films (∼10-6m) have been electrodeposited within a polymer matrix (∼10-5 m) of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene copolymer 60-40 cast on the surface of a stainless steel electrode. It is shown that the fractal geometry of the polymer-metal interface, which is not open to direct observ...

Description
Summary:Silver films (∼10-6m) have been electrodeposited within a polymer matrix (∼10-5 m) of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene copolymer 60-40 cast on the surface of a stainless steel electrode. It is shown that the fractal geometry of the polymer-metal interface, which is not open to direct observation, can be characterized by means of ac impedance measurements made on the electrode in acetonitrile solution. © 1990 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
